Ever found yourself in the middle of a conversation about the Super Bowl and thought, “Wait… when is that again?” Or maybe you’ve smiled and nodded through an office chat about last night’s game, silently wishing you had something, just anything, to contribute.

It’s a scene Amy Buchan Siegfried, Co-Founder and CEO of Last Night’s Game, knows all too well.
